Re: context of dc:identifier

Ah, very interesting.

Note that Adobe's XMP spec (which profiles RDF/XML) deprecates use of
dc:identifier precisely because of lack of context. Instead it is
recommended to use xmp:Identifier (a Bag) and to qualify with xmpidq:Scheme.
Here though I've found no examples of usage and would be very (well)
interested to learn of any. So, the XMP way of declaring an identifier is
something like this:

<rdf:Description rdf:about="" xmlns:xmp="http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/"
xmlns:xmpidq="http://ns.adobe.com/xmp/Identifier/qual/1.0/">
   <xmp:Identifier>
      <rdf:Bag>
        <rdf:li xmpidq:Scheme="URI">info:doi/10.1038/nature06065.f1</rdf:li>
      </rdf:Bag>
   </xmp:Identifier>
 </rdf:Description>

I don't know what values are appropriate for xmpidq:Scheme (since there are
no examples and no closed set definitions) but expect that "URI" might be a
contender. Any ideas? Or pointers?

(Apologize for the use of a non-HTTP example, but couldn't be bothered to
fake it. ;)

Cheers,

Tony
